Death of AdIt.-Gen. Robertson.

Adjt. Gen. Robertson died at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law In Detroit on the
goth inst.
John Robertson was Scotchman, and
was born in PortsOy, Barffshire, January
2, 1914. He was a descendant of the
Robertson and Stewart clans on the faith
er's side, and from the family of Forbes,
one of the largest in Scotland, on the
mothers. He began studies preparatory
to professional life, but he showed such
a strong inclination for military life that
the course was abandoned. In 1929,
on leaving the school, he obtained a clerk
ship in the general postoffice of Scot
land, at Edinburgh, but becoming tired of
the cOnstraint he sailed for Montreal, Que.
From there he travelled on foot to Platts-
burg, n. Y, worked his way across Lake
Champlain, and at Burlington, VT, July
9, 1888, he enlisted as private soldier in
the United States army.
In the spring of 1884 Private Robertson
was assigned to the Fifth Infantry, at Fort
Howard, Green Bay, Wis. Soon after
joining the regiment he was appointed a
non-cOmmssined officer, and served for
nearly six years as quartermaster-sergea
and sergeant-major. He thus received
military instruction which i'm after years
did much to fit him for positions he so ad-
mirably filled.
After his term of service expired Mr..
Robertson was engaged in the Quarter
master and Commissary Departments of
the division at Prairie du Chen.
In 1910 he came to Detroit, and soon
after entered the merchantile house of
Brady & Trowbridge. A few years after
wards he accompanied one of the firm to
Mexico, where for eighteen months he en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. Coming
back to Detroit, he rejoined G. A. Trow-
bridge in the commission business and
later became his partner.
AT the breaking out of the war in 1861
Gov. Blair appointed Mr.. Robertson adju-
tant-general of the state, an Office he held
until his death. Before this he had been
identified with the state troops. In 1856
he received his first commission from Gov.
Bingham, and so for thirty-two years he
had been of the state militia.

Another Element Of piscord.

Word comes from Ottawa of the dis
covery of rich gold deposits in British
Columbia, close to the imaginary boundary
line between that province and Alaska,
which may lead to serious trouble If the
actual boundary is not defined before any
attempt is made to develop these valuable
finds. In view of the discovery of gold in
the Pacific provinces the Dominion gov
eminent have decided on sending out a
part of the country. An effort will be
made i'm the coming session of parliament
survey of the British Columbian boundary
in the hope that the United States govern
ment will cooperate and definitely fix the
boundary line and thus remove all posi-
bility Of disputes.

EOur Men Shot.

Walter Ridgely, a wealthy farmer living
20 miles north of Texarkana, Texas, shot
and killed two ferrymen who were trying
to force exorbitant charges out of st.
Louis drummer for putting him across the
river. Ridgely took the drummer's part.
The ferrymen insulted HIM for this and at
tempted to draw their weapons, when
Ridgley shot them both dead. Upon ex-
animation Ridgley was discharged.
John Murphy, brother of one of the
men killed, and an uncle of the other,
swore to kill Ridgley on sight. One night
Ridgley, on horseback, was returning home
from neighbours and OH entering a strip
of woods was fired OH from ambush. The
horse fell dead, but its rider escaped un-
harmed, and rolled over on the opposite
side of the horse to that from which the
firing came. The would-be murderers,
who were the brother and uncle mentioned,
thinking that Ridgley was dead, approached.
When within about 10 feet Ridgley sudden
ly raised up and shot both assailants dead
in their tracks.
This makes four men that Ridgley has
killed over a simple ferry boat transaction.

Clark's Revenge.

just as the prisoners at the state prison
other noon, a scene occurred which has
not taken place there for many years.
Only one company of men had yet been
seated, and the second were marching into
their seats, when Isaac Clark, life con-
Wet, made an assault upon Enos III. Cir
ard, ffteen-year man from Oakland
county, and tried to stab him with a shoe
knife. which he had stolen from the shoe
contract shops, where he is employed.
Girard was too quick for Clark and caught
him by the wrist, receiving only slight
cut on the hand. The officers separated
the men and Clark sat down to the table
again. The officers did not seem to COM
prehend that Clark had knife and did
not take IL away from him.
Clark had just taken his seat when
Charles Plattner, convict, passed him.
Clark jumped upon him and piled his
knife with more success than he did upon
Girard, inflicting several gashes on the
shoulders, chest and side. The most
wicked cut, however, was on the left
cheek just under the eye, and so deep did
the blade penetrate that the organ dropped
from the socket onto the cheek. Keeper
Baldwin had by this time hurried to Platt-
ner's assistance, and with two or three
blows from heavy cane applied to Clark s
head felled him to the ground. Plattner' s
wounds are quite serious, and he Is now at
the hospital, as is also Clark, whose
wounds are not dangerous. Girard's in
juries are also slight. The reason for
Clark's cowardly and vicious attack is
summed up in the following:
He received, along with Daniel Graham,
life sentence at Detroit In 1881, for
murder In the first degree. Girard and
Plattner were witnesses at the trial, and
Clark and Graham affirm that they are In
prison now only on account Of the false
swearing of the two above mentioned wit
nesses. Only short time ago Clark made

All Accounted For.

Workmen in the ruins of the burned
Richmond hotel i'm Buffalo, found the
ledger or ''roOm book" of the hotel which
contained the name of all the guests.
Though badly charred around the sides,
the hood is i'm fair state of preservation,
and the entries fortunately are all legible
down to the last made. 1t was taken to
police headquarters, where it was careful
ly examined with special reference to those
reported missing among the guests. The
result was that the only name found in the
book among those given as missing is that
of Robert s. Boyd of Boston, who occupied
room 175, on the side adjoining the mu-
scum. The discovery removes the last
doubt as to Boyd's fate. 1t also settles
the fact that all the dead have been ac-
counted for, and places the number OF
killed at 13.

Plenty of Roast Beef.

A stock barn belonging to William
Hackett, wealthy farmer living near
Saginaw was burned the other morning.
The grain barn, 35x75 feet, with its con-
tents of grain and machinery, and the
large stock barn, 100x24 feet were wholly
destroyed Thirty head of cattle, includ-
ing fifteen valuable mich cows, were
roasted In the flames also the fifteen head
of sheep, some of which cost Mr.. Hackett
$40 head. One small yearling succeeded
in breaking loose and escaped minus its
hair. After the fire the carcasses of the
cattle lay in rows side by side, as they had
been tied. A corn barn adjoining had the
side burned off. Had the wind been In
the opposite direction the residence and
horse and grain barns must have also
been burned. The barns were unques-
tionably set on fire, as track leading to
and from the barn across the field to the
road was easily found. The suspicion
rests upon family of brothers named
Hamilton, with whom Mr.. IIackett had
some trouble. One of the brothers drew a
gun OH Mr.. Hackett but changed his mind,
leaving with the dark threat that he would
pay for it, Mr.. IIackett came to Saginaw
and procured warrant, which Under
Sheriff Reins proceeded to serve, arresting
the two youngest brothers, who were sent
to the Jail in Saginaw. The loss will not
be less than 1000, with only $500 insur-
ance.
